clean up in aisle six

there used

to be a sex store up the street,

next to the Unitarian Church,

and Dunkin Donuts,

but it's closed

down now.

it was two levels,

with an

elevator

and an escalator, with

shopping carts.

there were mannequins.

in the windows

wearing

sheer lingerie.

and a red pulsing sign

that said

open all night.

a middle aged woman

covered in tattoos

with pierced eyebrows

and blue hair

greeted you

at the door

and pointed to an area

of your

needs and desires.

toys and gizmos on aisle

three,

movies

and books on the second

floor,

the basement had chains

and cages.

at least, that's what i heard.

you were warned to be careful

in aisle six.

don't slip.

mind you, this is all hearsay

of course.
